This is a problem with Mac OS permissions on that folder.
Set permissions for that Library/Preferences/Adobe folder and all of its contents to read-write, not read-only.

ERROR Launching - After Effects CS4

Hello all.
This is my colleague getting her new MacPro, Snow Leopard installed
- We updated everything OS
- Installed and updated everything Adobe CS4 suite of production premium software
- Even reset preferences by pressing CommandShiftOption keys while launching AE CS$
Still getting errors of launching its own internal plug-ins, not external. When trying to open a pre-CS4, CS3 project
Anybody any insight to this?
Thanks and cheers

There could be two reasons for this.
1. You're using a trial version. Support for video formats that relies on codecs provided by third parties (all MPEG flavors, including AVCHD and HDV) is not available in the trial.
2. If it's not a trial version, it could be the following issue: If you downloaded the After Effects 9.0 trial, then updated to After Effects 9.0.1, and then activated the application with a serial number after purchasing a license (all in exactly that order), then the After Effects 9.0.2 update will fail to update your third-party content, like the Cycore (CC) effect plug-ins. It appears that uninstalling the third-party content and then restarting the application will cause the updated third-party content to be installed correctly. On windows you'll have an entry in Control Panels/Programs and Features. On the mac, it will be in /Application/Utilities/Adobe Installer.

I need help launching after effects! PLEASE READ

Everytime i launch After effects it says this: The licensing library encountered an error; you may need to reinstall. and After Effects can’t continue: unexpected failure during application startup! Someone any ideas? By the way I'm using a iMacBook pro

if that's the exact error message, you'll need to troubleshoot the install logs, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html
if that's not the exact error message, attach a screenshot of it, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4209263#4209263

Cannot launch After Effects CC 2014

Hi,
SInce this morning, I cannot launch After Effects CC 2014 anymore.
At the first time, I had a hanging splash screen.
I forced the application to quit.
Now, when i try to launch it, nothing happens, the icon is bouncing in the dock, no startupscreen is showing.
I tried to reinstall the application. Nothing changed.
After Effects CC (12.2) is working correctly.
I see 2 possible reasons :
1) I recently updated to Mac OS 10.9.4
2) Since a few days, each time I launched AE, it said that I had 4-3-2-1 day left to resolve a payment problem (In fact I upgraded my Subscription from Monthly to Year, so I had to cancel my monthly subscription, and then get a new 1-year subscription. It seemed like AE did not see the new subscription)
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for approximate english...
Eric

I'd allready tried that but it had no effect.
In Fact, I found a solution from Dépannage des comportements inattendus | Eléments spécifiques d’un compte d’utilisateur | Logiciels Adobe | Mac OS
I had to remove an old startupItem named AdobeResourceSynchronizer.
Now everything is ok !
Thanks anyway

Updated document about QuickTime errors with After Effects (re: H.264 and hyperthreading)

I just updated "troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects CS5, CS5.5, and CS6" with information about hyperthreading and Apple's H.264 encoder.
The gist is that Apple's H.264 exporter component for QuickTime fails when the computer has a large number of CPUs.

No, this applies to any QuickTime H.264 export. You can export H.264 in a QuickTime .mov wrapper out of AME, too, and it will have this problem.
The various H.264 encoding presets (for YouTube, Blu-ray, Vimeo, iPad, etc.) don't use the H.264 QuickTime component, so this isn't relevant to them.
This problem is just relevant to choosing Apple's H.264 as the video codec when choosing QuickTime as a format. This applies to all software that uses QuickTime, by the way, not just Adobe software.

Ayuda con Error en After Effects CS6

Alguien porfavor que me pueda ayudar,
Me salen los siguientes mensajes de error en After Effects CS6 al trabajar con el plugin Newton:
AfterEffects error:Error en curso. El último mensaje registrado ha sido: <8796> <DynamicLink> <5> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
y luego
After Effects no se puede continuar: Lo sentios, After Effects se ha bloqueado. Para obtener ayuda y soporte de After Effects, visite
http://www.adobe.com/go/lern_ae support_es. Si aún no puede resolver el problema, póngase en contacto con el soporte técnico de Adobe (2).
(0::42)
y el programa se bloquea y se cierra,
qué puedo hacer, cómo lo soluciono, ayuda porfavor
Gracias!!

Bueno, prueba el consejo, casi siempre recomendable actualizar, las aplicaciones y los controladores gráficos que en aplicaciones de video suelen ser la clave.
No aportaste ningun detalle de tu instalación, sistema,... por lo que más dificilmente se te puede ayudar.
El error que de forma parcial comunicabas, te ofrecía dos soluciones:
1. Consultar una página web.
2. Consultar con el soporte técnico de Adobe. Esto, para problemas aleatorios es lo más recomendable.

Trouble with Launching After Effects CS6

Whenever I launch After Effects CS6, it hangs on "MediaCore", and will stop working until I close the program. I've used After Effects numerous times, but have never installed any extra content or anything of that matter. This has never happened to me before, and I'm confused as to why!

Error code 15 while launching After Effects CS6

PS:

Re,
Now it works...
So the problem is resolved.
Bye !

Steps I have tried to troubleshoot include:
Updating drivers
Making Sure Windows Service Pack 1 is installed
Wiping my computer with a fresh Windows 7 install and re-installing all drivers and windows updates.
Downloading and installing the latest CUDA pack from Nvidia.
No positive results so far. It also seems as though CC is having a hard time installing the programs successfully on my computer. The CC library install fails when I install CC Desktop as well, and it gave me an error saying that it wasn't compatible with other adobe software installed. But there is no other adobe software installed at that point.
Here are my machine specs:
HP Zbook 15 Mobile Workstation
Intel Core i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2,7ghz
NVidia Quadro K2100m
Intel HD Graphics 4600
32GB RAM

Okay, well. I figured this out.
On a hunch, I downloaded Windows Service Pack 1 directly from the site and installed it from it's own installer. This worked. Apparently Windows Updater wasn't installing it properly and this is what was causing the problem.

I get this error message when i launch After Effects CC 2014 Trial

To everyone posting on this thread:
Without much more detail, there is very little that anyone can do to help you.
Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
At the very least, at least give the exact version number for your operating system, the exact version number of After Effects, and details of your graphics card and its drivers.

All drivers are updated and reupdated.
Re-installed all GPU drivers.
Refreshed my Wndows 8 OS.
Reformated my Windows 8 OS then Installed AE cs6.
Installed AE on my F drive instead of C [C drive is an SSD and F Drive is an HDD]
I am able to see the AE CS6 splash screen but it will prompt a message "Has Stopped Working".
Other things to take note:
I am able to launch Renderer Machine without any issues.
I am also able to launch other Adobe Products that came along with AE CS6 try version.
Latest Quicktime version is installed.

Hi Todd,
Thanks you for replying.
After updating to 11.0.2, I am still unable to launch AE CS6.

Upon Launch After Effects Pro CS3 Crashes - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

I recently installed the 32 bit version of Adobe After Effects Professional CS3 (and later applied the 8.02 Update) on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit computer (Service Pack 1 - 12 GB RAM). It's installed (along with all of my other applications) on a 256 GB solid state drive.
Shortly after launching the application (as it begins to load), the following message appears:
After Effects Error: sfntread library error (83 :: 4)
It continues to reappear several times after clicking 'OK'.
Then a final error message appears just before the program aborts its loading process and crashes:
After Effects warning: unknown BIB error, sfntread library error CT, 0
I currently have the complete version of Adobe Design Premium CS5 also installed on my Windows system. No problems occurred with its installation and all of the programs within the suite launch and load properly as expected. The only other Adobe CS3 application that I also installed before installing After Effects CS3 was Premeire Pro CS3 which also installed, launched and loaded properly with no error messages appearing during the entire process.
I did an initial search here on the forum using the error messages but did not find a solution that is workable with my particular operating system (64 bit) and the 32 bit After Effects Professional CS3 application.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a page that might be useful:
http://aeerrors.myleniumstuff.de/?p=370
Note that Windows 7 is not listed as an operating system supported for After Effects CS3:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/836/cpsid_83637.html#main_After_Effects_CS3_system_requirements
The application was written, tested, and released before Windows 7 was available.
